The Institute for Responsible Nutrition (IRN), a nonprofit dedicated to ending food-related disease and promoting good health, has named Michael Prager to its team of distinguished advisers.
“Michael is an effective voice for the experience of illness related to poor nutrition, but more importantly, an eloquent voice of experience for restoring one’s health through healthy, whole, real food,” said Wolfram Alderson, IRN’s founding Executive Director.
Prager is an author, certified wellness coach, and a professional speaker based near Boston. His first book, “Fat Boy Thin Man,” works toward similar goals, exploiting his experiences as someone who was obese for 30 years, but who now maintains a 155-pound loss for a quarter century.
“Wholism — seeing my deficits as broader than just what was on my plate, and investing in lessons from nature, such as that we’re unquestionably connected to others — was a key to transformation for me,” Prager said. “It would be amusing, if it weren’t sad, that so very many of us act as if what we eat, and what we do, has no effect on our health or our happiness.”
Prager’s second book, “Sustainable You,” expands the theme to more than “just” food choices and habits, exploring the many ways individuals can act to sustain themselves.
The IRN was founded with the leadership of Dr. Robert Lustig, a neuroendocrinologist at UCSF in San Francisco, and a renowned advocate for metabolic health. The mission of the IRN is to shape the way food is produced, marketed and distributed so that we can end food-related illness and promote good health.
